Samsung Galaxy Note8 dismantled in iFixit

Specialists portal iFixit, recently tried to disassemble frameless smartphone Essential Phone from Andy Rubin and put him only 1 point out of a possible 10, today held the opening of another bezrabotnykh, Samsung Galaxy Note8. This Korean flagship showed much better results, but the ideal of him is still too far away.

The advantage of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note8 recognized by its modular design – if you can get to the internal components, it is possible to change many of them individually, and this reduces the final cost of repair. A key finding was the location of the battery – here, unlike the infamous Note 7, it is located almost in the center of the body, which reduces the risk of damage and inflammation. This is a huge plus phablet, and in the Treasury of the positive aspects identified were screws with standard heads.

However, Samsung Galaxy Note8 earned only 4 points out of 10 on a scale of maintainability, and deservedly so: even if all needed tools is still quite difficult to remove the glass panel covering the rear part of the casing – it is in itself very fragile and increases the risk of injury. In addition, inside the smartphone revealed a significant amount of adhesive holding some components.
